London Special 10 the ". Y. World. Dec II.
The st james Gdzene this evening says IL is now
settled that there will be no International contest
next year for the Americas cup, and that the
Volunteer will come over the Atlantic to fight the
Thistle In British waters when Gen. Paine will
attempt 70 take back the Brenton Reef cup won
by the Genesta In America two seasons ago. 1t is
confidently expected that the famous centerboa q

90 take place In connection with the Glasgow exhi-
billion.
Mr.. @. L. Watson Is preparing to get his hand in
with centerboards, and Is building boat OF the

points somewhat conclusiyely to the fact that the
next British boat built to contest for the Americas
cup will be entirely on American lines.
